The Modern Poisoners Society.

The  Modern Poisoners Society  walked off  with the  top prize  at last  night’s  annual Pinocchio Awards, held at a glittering ceremony on a hillside in an Angus glen.

The judging panel, exclusively made up this year by members of the Modern Poisoner Employers Society, said the decision was unanimous, and universal.

A spokesman for the panel, millionaire Sir Gideon Marmaduke Sinclair-Clementine said: 'We are delighted to recognise the winners capability to fabricate stories, often in the face of what might seem to be blindingly obvious truths. The fact that we employ these truth-distorters had no bearing whatsoever on our decision. They are universally the best liars this world has ever seen, and that’s no word of a lie'.

A spokesman for the Modern Poisoners Society, Carbofuran Campbell said: 'It’s great to get such universal recognition. We’ve made up shit for years and it’s gratifying that it’s finally been noticed. Thanks very much'.

A spokesman for the Royal Bird Protection Society said: 'For f****s sake, they told us they would acknowledge us in their acceptance speech, the fact they didn't just shows what untrustworthy lying bastards they are. Raptor Persecution Scotland

Three  appropriate  images - don't forget to 'clik the piks' - all  victims  of  the  above members  of  the  MPS,  with  a  history  of   persecution  and  slaughter by  people  with dark and  tiny troubled  minds  still  living  in the Dark Ages.
